I'll level with you. I'm really freaked out by loose buttons. I'm fine while they're doing their job, but once they're free the evil bastards are a major threat to my life. Tell us what spooks you, and how you cope. Also: church bells, doner kebab salads, death.

He's gonna hate me for posting this...
Mate at work, on the Ambos, has a proper, full blown phobia of banana skins. Bananas are fine when zipped up, it's just the skins.Anyway, long story, short.He's working on an Ambo with a couple of female paramedics (it's called third-manning; don't ask), when one of them drops a banana skin on the floor between the front seats, intending to dispose of it later. He's driving & visibly flinches, so she asks why? Like an idiot, he tells the two lasses about his phobia.Fast forward to later in the shift. They're in a large care home & he's sent back to the truck to fetch the stretcher. After a while, when there's still no sign of him, one of the lasses says she'd better go look for him. The care home manager tells her they can look on the cctv, because they have a camera on the front door. Switching it on they are greeted by the sight of him just as he discovers the banana skin, tucked into his jacket pocket.I think the phrase was "dancing like an epileptic apache"Sadly no video recorder was attached to the cctv.

The delay in care provision didn't impact on the patient,
and the ambulance crew weren't reprimanded for their bullying of their colleague?

bullying
Clearly you've never worked in the Ambo service.Bullying is endemic from the top down.It's like a 1940's public boys school, with only slightly less buggery.

Is it called third-manning because there's three people?
Wild guess.

I got it. The theme is phobias and fears (one and the same thing but letting that one slide)
and you said that you had a phobia about ambulence (lol lol lol)
